Airline information
Most visitors fly to Townsville on the many flights provided by Jetstar, Virgin Blue and Qantas. There are taxis and a shuttle bus to take people from the airport to the passenger ferry terminal. However, our privileged Bright Point Deluxe guests are welcome to request a free limo pick up from the airport!
Limo pick ups
As stated, our privileged Bright Point Deluxe guests are welcome to request a free limo pick up from the airport! This must be done as part of a direct web-site booking and the firm number of passengers clearly stated.
The fast, modern passenger ferry takes only twenty five minutes to reach the island and operates to the following timetable. It is usually only 10 minutes by car from Townsville airport to the ferry terminal, but, given the infrequency of the service at certain times of the day and week, we strongly recommend you arrange flights which land at least forty minutes prior to your intended ferry’s departure. Bookings are not necessary.
